Not sure I understand all those stats, but I like Iowa's chances. I'm predicting a raucous crowd with plenty of throwdowns and and a big win by Iowa 80-64

Does KenPom have a key that explains some of those? I get most of them, but not all. Would just like to see how some are calculated. I'm too busy to look it up right now.

I'm curious as to how they calculate "effective height".

Probably avg height of the five guys who avg the most minutes...just a guess, but that would make sense.
